As one of the leading Philadelphia
medical malpractice law firms, Saltz Mongeluzzi Barrett &
Bendesky and its team of medical malpractice attorneys have
successfully handled hundreds of such cases for our
clients.

"First, do no harm," is a cardinal rule of medicine. Yet each
year an estimated 100,000 Americans die as a result of medical
mistakes in hospitals alone. Many patients don't even realize - or
want to believe - that they have been victimized by thoroughly
avoidable medical errors.

To right such wrongs, SMBB's medical malpractice attorneys
focus primarily on the following types of medical
mistakes:

Proven Results

In the past decade alone Saltz Mongeluzzi Barrett &
Bendesky's medical malpractice attorneys have settled more
than$200 million worth of medical mistake
cases for our clients in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and New
Jersey.

Because doctors and hospitals want to avoid negative publicity,
they usually agree only to confidential settlements. However, the
numerous multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements
we have secured include:

$1M Delayed diagnosis and treatment of H1N1 influenza
virus resulting in death

$1M Improper podiatric foot surgery

$1M Delayed diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer

Medical Malpractice Expertise

The two partners who lead the SMBB malpractice team bring more
than 50 years of combined medical malpractice experience to each
case. They frequently lecture and teach other lawyers how to handle
such cases.

Always working in teams, SMBB malpractice lawyers also rely on a
highly experienced SMBB nurse, consulting nurses and independent
physician experts to determine what went wrong. They:

Exhaustively review all medical records

Review hospital policies, procedures and protocols

Investigate competencies of doctors and nurses

The team has pioneered the innovative use of high-tech visual
tools - including illustrations, audio and video, animation and
customized 3-D models - to reenact what happened. These powerful
techniques are very effective in proving the case and convincing
defendants to settle with our clients.

Also serving as medical watchdogs, SMBB's medical malpractice
lawyers have been responsible for numerous improvements in hospital
policies and procedures designed to prevent future mistakes.

Compensation for Medical Malpractice

Hospitals, physicians, nurses and other healthcare
providers may all be liable. SMBB medical malpractice
attorneys work tenaciously to help you get all the compensation to
which you may be entitled - including compensation for pain and
suffering, emotional trauma, medical costs, lost income and future
earnings.
